New Official Verbal and Quantitative Guides from GRE

Great news! ETS will be releasing two new practice books this May, one for GRE Math and one for GRE Verbal:

Official GRE Verbal Reasoning Practice Questions

Official GRE Quantitative Reasoning Practice Questions

Each book will have 150 brand new, never-seen-before test questions. What that means for you is more practice content to get you ready for test day. I haven’t seen the books yet, but I’m guessing you’ll be able to combine questions to make for at least one practice test (who knows, perhaps each book has a practice test at the end for each section).

What this new release means for Magoosh is we will have a book review up a week after the book is released. That doesn’t mean you should rush out and listen to all the explanations. Make sure to go through the questions yourself and try to figure out the one’s you missed. Then, for an explanation, or simply more insight, you can check out the video explanations for all 300 questions (looks like I’ll be pulling some all-nighters!).

We’ll keep you informed about any changes in release date, and will put out a reminder a week or so before the books are released.

By the way, students who use Magoosh GRE improve their scores on average by 8 points on the new scale (150 points on the old scale.) Click here to learn more.

I had pre-ordered them months ago, and finally got mine from Amazon today! I’m following the 1-month study guide (at week 2, but I don’t follow the dates stringently, because I’m also using Manhattan Prep and a couple other resources that were recommended on this blog). Could you recommend how I should distribute these additional questions throughout the next month or so? I see there are 150 verbal and 150 quantitative questions…!

I’d recommend making the exercises in this books paramount, since the questions not only are written by ETS, but accurately reflect the test in its most recent incarnations (I can attest to this based on the actual tests I’ve sat for).

If you don’t go to some of Manhattan questions or questions from other books that is absolutely fine, since the questions in the ETS guides will prepare you much better for the actual test.

Will I be able to access the questions published in these two books from Magoosh ? I see that the total questions in the Math and Verbal questions just increased on my Dash Board. Are these the new questions from the book ?

hi chris ,
i was eagerly waiting for this book to be released on this month , since i am writing GRE next month . i think it is going to be delayed further.
i have completed sentence completion questions and text completion questions in magoosh.
need more practise sc &tc questions .which books recommended for revision.

Any news on exactly when these books will be released? I am thinking of giving the exam again in May and probably it would be good idea to get hold of new ETS stuff (as I have done twice the other ETS book). Thanks anyways.
